Dear Sir,

The Chevalier de la Luzerne, who goes over to succeed M. Gerard, will I hope have the Pleasure of delivering this into your hand, and of being by that means introduced to your Acquaintance. He has a most amiable Character here, and I am persuaded will make himself very acceptable to our People, as he has the most sincere Good Will to our Cause & Country, and the strongest Disposition to serve us. I therefore take the Liberty of recommending him warmly to your Civilities: Permit me at the same time to assure you of the unchangeable Esteem & Affection, with which, I am ever, Dear Sir, Your most obedt. & most humble. Sert.
